I love exploring new places. Regular readers of this blog will know that the natural world holds a special place in my heart. Sometimes though the road I take leads me to photos like this one:

ISO 800 50mm f/10 1/250

I spotted this window last week as I was walking down the street in a new town. It’s not the kind of photo I usually take, but it made laugh out loud, so I took that to mean I should take the photo. Here is the original:

ISO 800 50mm f/10 1/250

I really felt that this photo needed a bit of editing, but that it would be important not to go overboard. I stuck with Lightroom to do the edits. I have cropped it because I thought the brick was a distraction. I increased the clarity and saturation. I then added a vignette to the edges. All of my edits were done with the thought of making the photo pop a little more, but not scream “I’ve been edited!”

Do you think the edits are successful? Would you have edited it differently? and here’s a question, would you have taken the photo in the first place? Your thoughts are welcome below.
